Glow City’s Light-Up Basketball Lets Your Kid Shoot Hoops At Night

No matter how many 3s you drained on your magical run to the 1998 Bucknell B-League Intramural Championship, the odds of your kid actually landing a hoops scholarship to Duke based on natural-born talent alone is pretty slim. It’s going to take practice. And a lot of late-night free throws in the dark. Good thing you bought them this glowing basketball.

Glow City is an official NBA-sized No. 7 rock that lights up red in the dark thanks to 2 embedded “Hi-Bright” LEDs. The impact-activated lights are powered by replaceable 1.5-volt coin batteries (included) and illuminate as soon as the ball is bounced, so there’s no on-off switch. If you only dribbled the ball once before putting it under your arm to regale your kid with tales of aforementioned intramural title, the lights will cut out in 40 seconds. Bounce it again though and you’ll be able to see the bored expression on Junior’s face.
